description: Learn how to use GitLab CI with Turborepo.

import { Tabs, Tab } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/tabs';

The following example shows how to use Turborepo with [GitLab CI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/).

For a given root `package.json`:

```json title="./package.json"
{
  "name": "my-turborepo",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "turbo run build",
    "test": "turbo run test"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "turbo": "latest"
  }
}
```

And a `turbo.json`:

```json title="./turbo.json"
{
  "$schema": "https://turborepo.com/schema.json",
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "outputs": [".svelte-kit/**"],
      "dependsOn": ["^build"]
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"]
    }
  }
}
```

Create a file called `.gitlab-ci.yml` in your repository with the following contents:

<Tabs groupId="package-manager" items={['pnpm', 'yarn', 'npm', 'bun']} persist>
    <Tab value="pnpm">

        ```yaml title=".gitlab-ci.yml"
        image: node:latest
        stages:
          - build
        build:
          stage: build
          before_script:
            - curl -f https://get.pnpm.io/v6.16.js | node - add --global pnpm@6.32.2
            - pnpm config set store-dir .pnpm-store
          script:
            - pnpm install
            - pnpm build
            - pnpm test
          cache:
            key:
              files:
                - pnpm-lock.yaml
            paths:
              - .pnpm-store
        ```

        > For more information visit the pnpm documentation section on GitLab CI integration, view it [here](https://pnpm.io/continuous-integration#gitlab)
    </Tab>

    <Tab value="yarn">

        ```yaml title=".gitlab-ci.yml"
        image: node:latest
        stages:
          - build
        build:
          stage: build
          script:
            - yarn install
            - yarn build
            - yarn test
          cache:
            paths:
              - node_modules/
              - .yarn
        ```

    </Tab>

<Tab value="npm">

        ```yaml title=".gitlab-ci.yml"
        image: node:latest
        stages:
          - build
        build:
          stage: build
          script:
            - npm install
            - npm run build
            - npm run test
        ```

    </Tab>

<Tab value="bun">
    ```yaml title=".gitlab-ci.yml"
    default:
      image: oven/bun:1.2
      cache:
        key:
          files:
            - bun.lock
        paths:
          - node_modules/
      before_script:
          - bun install

    build:
    script: - bun run build

    test:
    script: - bun run test

    ```

</Tab>

## Remote Caching

To use Remote Caching, retrieve the team and token for the Remote Cache for your provider. In this example, we'll use [Vercel Remote Cache](https://vercel.com/docs/monorepos/remote-caching):

- `TURBO_TOKEN` - The Bearer token to access the Remote Cache
- `TURBO_TEAM` - The slug of the Vercel team to share the artifacts with

To use Vercel Remote Caching, you can get the value of these variables in a few steps:

1. Create a Scoped Access Token to your account in the [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/account/tokens)

![Vercel Access Tokens](/images/docs/vercel-create-token.png)

Copy the value to a safe place. You'll need it in a moment.

2. Go to your GitLab repository settings and click on the **Settings** and then **CI/CD** tab. Create a new variable called `TURBO_TOKEN` and enter the value of your Scoped Access Token.

![GitLab CI Variables](/images/docs/gitlab-ci-variables.png)
![GitLab CI Create Variable](/images/docs/gitlab-ci-create-variable.png)

3. Make a second secret called `TURBO_TEAM` and set it to your team slug - the part after `vercel.com/` in [your Team URL](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings&title=Find+Team+URL). For example, the slug for `vercel.com/acme` is `acme`.

Remote Caching will now be operational in your GitLab workflows.
